Prevalence of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease in Persian and Persian-related cats in Brazil

Braz. j. biol; 81 (2), 2021
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic disease in cats. However, scarce data on its prevalence are available in Brazil. Persian cats and Persian-related breeds were assessed by molecular genotyping for a C to A transversion in exon 29 of PKD1 gene to determine ADP...

Molecular detection of Apicomplexa protozoa in tissues from Alouatta guariba clamitans

Pesqui. vet. bras; 41 (), 2021
The brown howler monkey (Alouatta guariba clamitans) is a primate species widely distributed in South America. Infections by protozoa are common in primates. However, studies on protozoa in primates in Brazil are scarce, so the goal of this study was to investigate DNA from the apicomplexan protozoa Neos...

Quantificação do DNA e genotipagem de biópsias de embriões bovinos Gir e Girolando produzidos in vitro

A biópsia embrionária associada à genotipagem permite a obtenção de informações genômicas antes mesmo da transferência dos embriões. Neste estudo, foram avaliadas amostras biopsiadas de blastocistos bovinos transferidos para receptoras (n=47), sob a hipótese de que a raça (Gir ou Girolando), ...

Malformation of the tail in Labrador Retriever dogs caused by mutation C189G in the T gene

Pesqui. vet. bras; 38 (12), 2018
The present study reported the mutation C189G in the T gene (Brachyury gene) as the cause of malformation in the tail of the Labrador dog. One litter of Labradors, from a mating between a female with short tail and a male with normal tail admitted at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Universidade Feder...

Genotyping of Toxoplasma gondii isolates from naturally infected Gallus domesticus in Santa Catarina state, Brazil

Toxoplasmosis is a widespread zoonosis that can infect warm-blooded animals including birds and humans, and chickens are considered to be indicators of environmental contamination. In Brazil, Toxoplasma gondii has a non-clonal population structure composed of three lineages (I, II, and III), presenting h...

Analysis of bovine rotavirus strains circulating in diarrheic dairy calves in Uberaba, Minas Gerais, Brazil, during 2008-2009

O objetivo deste estudo foi detectar rotavírus em fezes de bezerros com diarreia em Uberaba, MG, e caracterizar os genes VP7 e VP4 por meio da genotipagem e da análise filogenética. Setenta e quatro amostras foram coletadas entre novembro de 2008 e setembro de 2009. A detecção do vírus foi feita po...

Identification and characterization of Aspergillus fumigatus isolates from broilers

Pesqui. vet. bras; 36 (7), 2016
Aspergillosis is one of the main causes of mortality in birds. The pulmonary system is most frequently affected, with lesions observed in the air sacs and lungs of a wide variety of bird species. The aim of this study was to confirm by molecular methods the identification and the genetic diversity of Asp...
